LONDON—When Presi- dent Anwar Sadat of Egypt was in Jerusalem and told Golda Meir that he had wanted to meet her for, a long time, he was not just making polite conversation. He was referring to the dis- cussions about a possible encounter five years ago. Mrs. Meir told part of the story in her memoirs, "My Life." Her official visit to Bucharest, Romania in May, 1972, followed infor- mation that President Ni- colae Ceausescu, who had visited Sadat in Cairo, had an urgent message which he could only deliver to her in person. She spent two long ses- sions, lasting 14 hours, with Ceausescu. The Romanian leader told her "that he understood from Sadat him-_ self that the Egyptian leader was ready to meet with an Israeli—maybe with me, maybe not. - Mrs. Meir replied, "My President, this is the best news I have heard for many years." There was no ques- tion in his mind, she adds, "that he was delivering an historic and absolutely gen- uine message. He even talked to me about details." Mrs. Meir adds : "After so many years, it really looked as though the ice was about to break. But it didn't. When I came back to Israel, we waited and waited—in vain. There was no follow-up at all. Whatever Sadat had told Ceausescu—and he had cer- tainly told him something— was totally meaningless. and I suspect that the rea- son I never heard anything more from Ceausescu about the meeting with Sadat was that he couldn't bring him- self to confess, even to me, that Sadat had fooled him." Until we have Sadat's side Opponent Scorned TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Is- raeli Gen. Benjamin Peled, who has just retired as Air Force chief. is quoted as saying that Israel's forces have been superior to the Arabs in weapons and train- ing. He added, however, that the Arabs were inferior sol- diers. "I would never wish to exchange the foe, for example, for Britishers or Germans," he said. of the story we shall not know whether Mrs. Meir's explanation is correct. One reason for the lack of prog- ress towards an Egyptian- Israeli meeting may have been the degree of specula- tion aroused by her official visit to Romania. In her memoir, Mrs. Meir wrote incorrectly that "as far as the public and the press—both in Israel and Romania—were concerned, this had been just a stand- ard visit." In fact, the presS in Israel and Egypt were busily trying to discern the hidden motives behind the visit.
